    Old unused gamertag/account


    There is a person with the gamertag “Gobl1n” who has been inactive for 7 years, they have only played two games over 7 years ago. Ive been dying to get this gamertag for a while, when will their account be deactivated or my ability to snag the gamertag? (I do not want a gamertag with a number/suffix after it

    :)

    There's no way to know when a gamertag will be freed up. Since the system is used on multiple Microsoft services, it's possible they could be using the account elsewhere.

    They were releasing old unused gamertags but people were snatching them up in order to sell on.

    Old Gamertags

    i was lucky to get my gamertag before the 360 launched, most names i can imagine will be gone. but they can't delete a gamertag if it still has an email attached to it or there is purchased content on the account, so it will take a while to clear the old
    unused tags.

    Gamertag changes

    Xbox live wasn't around in 2000/01.

    Anyway,if it says your old tag is taken then it's taken.If it was unused then it was reset when they recycled all unused xbox gamertags a few years ago.
